xml editors for f9

[Dave Feustel]

I've been looking for an xml editor to use on F9,
but so far I am batting 0%. I have tried a couple
of proprietary xml editors, but they don't work
on my system. Are there any opensource xml editors
that run on F9?

Thanks.

Where have you looked?

"open source xml editor"  google search returns results.  Have you tried
any of those?

I tried xml editor and then downloaded two free versions of proprietary
editors. Neither worked for me. I just tried your search suggestion.
That produced more hits. I think maybe I will just use vim.

Should we assume that "neither worked for me" means "doesn't meet my
requirements" or something different?

FWIW, vi works fine for this and html editing.

Actually, both programs aborted immediately trying to load an html file converted
with tidy.

Vim is my editor of choice, although I can use vi. I am very new to xml
and all the related technology, but I'm sold on it.

but I am sold on the technology.

Then you may want to try the opensource editors found with that other
google search.

There are a lot of open Java based XML editors that should work in Firefox,
Safari and many other browsers that are platform independent, one of them
should work for you and work the same if you have to move between OSes.

Jaxe, Xeena, oXygen, Xample, Exchanger (also debugs XSLT), xmloperator,
Xerlin, Xpontus, GenDoc (*Java2), xml-editor-java, XMLmind, Swing...is that
enough?

Google is your friend.

Thanks for the list of editors. I will check them out gradually.
I discovered vim scripts for handling xml + other stuff at
http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/setup.xml#xmledit
so I will probably stick with vim until I stumble across something
really compelling (that's how I switched to Firefox).

I found in freshmeat an interesting graphical xml editor called TreeLine
that I am now evaluating.  It looks very promising.

"free xml editor linux" also gives a bunch of results, the first one
of which is a page devoted to free editors (though it's not clear in
which sense of "free").

You can try Quanta from the kdewebdev package. Supports HTML/XHTML and
related stuff out of the box, other DTDs can be imported (though it chokes
on some complex ones).

You could also check Eclipse. It seems to have xml and xml-schema 
editors,  although I had small problem when editing schema with it. (And 
it was also the newest Eclipse version found in their website, so I 
can't say how well the one coming with fedora works.)

Hi, Dave:

What would qualify an editor as an "xml editor?" Are you looking for
auto-completion, folding, flagging incorrect structures, validation
against DTDs and Schemas, xml-smart macros?

XML is just text. My general rule is that it's better to stick with
the text editor you know and find add-on packages or macros for it
than to have a different editor for every flavor of text file out
there, but that's just me.

So, what are you looking for in an XML editor?

Structure folding is the biggie for me. I have used vim for all my editing. I
agree with you about using just one editor if possible.

I use nedit for most of my text editing.  It comes with a whole stack of
language template-checker things, one of which is XML.
